That was a blast! My pics are on my camera at home, but I'll add them to the thread tonight.

It was awesome to meet some new monkeys and non-monkeys. Everyone there was so chill and laid back, we had some complete strangers show us a kickass loop, peter6061 and Bustaframe went with us for a killer ride. After the last nasty climb, I picked up Bustaframe's heavy ass bike - I couldn't believe he huffed that thing up all those hills!

Ha-ha. No doubt, I'm about to put my bike on a diet. The order is going in tonight so it can shed a few lbs. That thing was killing me on those climbs.

YEAH!!! It was an AWESOME weekend. I am SO glad to have meet a bunch of new monkeys and non-monkeys. Riding was good...especially the Sunday post-breakfast ride (that trail was really kickin' my arse!!!). I do have some pics and we'll get them up tonight. Thanks again for putting up with my slow self on those rides :D

Cool! When you head this way, you'll have me to talk to as well. Treesaw and I are usually together near the back of our group rides. ;)

New tires. No more DRS so I will put a big ring back on. That will drop a couple lbs right there. After that I will weight then re-evaluate. If it is still looking bad then I might just get a prop 1000 and move some parts from my 4X over. Then sell off extra parts, frame, brakes, cranks... You know how it goes. I think that might be the best option actually.

As you can see...no pics of stosh riding :devil:

We did, however, capture this moment....which will definately be burned in our minds-eye for far too long...check out these headlights for night riding! :nope:

It's funny but I think MBW actually changed my GF's life... we were talking about it last night.

As a child she never really went camping or did much "outdoor" stuff. We had only been camping once before and it poured the whole time so it wasn't a great experience. This time not only was the camping/location great but she met great people and there was a lot of stuff to do. She was telling me last night how she feels like a new person and has taken an entirely new look at life....
I'm still a little dazed by MBW myself, I still feel like my heart is there. It's weird and makes for a difficult time at work.

Here are some Pics i took .. unfortunately my battery went dead so I never got riding pics... looking forward to seeing Peters!!!!!
I'll get them up probably tonight. This whole PT job and school on top of the FT job thing is getting a little tired. I think the PT job has just about come to and end. School tonight, so if I get home at a reasonable hour, the pics will go up.

Don't get your hopes up unless you like to see pictures of randomly colored 'blurs' or 'streaks' zipping through the woods. --actually, some of them came out pretty well.

You're the only person who got a pic of me.
